Press comment: ‘FAZ’ on agreement on basic child security

FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) – “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” on the agreement on basic child security:

“In the dispute over basic child security, the traffic light coalition threatened to gamble away the rest of the reputation it still has. (…) The additional sum that is now to be used is far from what is (…) Lisa Paus had dreamed of. Christian Lindner was right in his resistance. The quality of the law is not measured by how big the bag of money it takes. The causes of child poverty were talked about far too seldom and whether the state could actually remedy the situation through social benefits better would be what the coalition doesn’t have, a clever economic policy and what the states can’t bring about, an educational boom Doubts warranted.”/yyzz/DP/ngu
